Default DRL weird

So I am a little confused and didn't see anything in searching.

My driver side DRL (02 z06) is out. However when I turn on headlamps it works (dimmer then ususal) but the turn signal is non functioning in either case.

Is it still just the bulb? A wiring or harness issue? A fuse(don't think so)?

Just need to know before I go buying things I dont need.

Thank you

bulb... the DRL shares the same bulb as the signal. It has two filaments. One is for the DRL with headlights off AND signal. The other is for a marker/park light when park or head lights are turned on.

Pop up the head lights and turn the switch one notch back to the park lights. Your head lights should stay up, but not illuminated. Disconnect the battery. Remove the three screws of the head light surround (side with bad DRL bulb). You should now have access to stick your hand and arm down below the head light and reach the DRL bulb/socket/ Twist socket out of lens. Pull bulb away from socket and replace.
